Scope

Scope: This standard specifies the general procedures and technical specifications for autopsies and specimen collection of small cetaceans. This standard applies to the autopsy activities of small cetaceans. The sources of small cetacean carcasses in this standard are based on the "Wildlife Protection Law of the People's Republic of China", the "Regulations on the Protection of Aquatic Wildlife in the People's Republic of China", the "Special Measures for the Utilization of Aquatic Wildlife in the People's Republic of China", and the "Regulations on the Management of Import and Export of Endangered Wild Animals and Plants of the People's Republic of China", as well as the "Announcement No. 14 of 2017" issued by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration and the Ministry of Agriculture. Main technical content: The population of cetaceans is decreasing globally. All geographical regions, including the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea, are considered areas with high cetacean diversity and richness. Cetacean stranding data can provide baseline information on species discovery and diversity without the need for expensive field surveys. Based on stranding data, scientific research, conservation actions, and management strategies can be developed. Compared with other countries, China does not yet have a national cetacean stranding information network, which would make it more efficient to collect cetacean stranding information. Additionally, establishing autopsy standards that can be used by all research teams will help ensure more reliable specimen collection and data sharing. This standard is based on valuable insights from past cases. It aims to standardize specimen collection and prioritize procedural guidelines, allowing samples collected from stranded and suffering cetaceans and dolphins to yield greater scientific research benefits. Cetacean forensic science is an important tool for understanding the biology of these animals, the causes
